Palliative Care Services in Claremont and Southern California
Relief and Support During a Serious Illness
Living with a serious or chronic illness can affect your comfort, independence, and emotional well-being. Serenity Hospice Care provides palliative care services focused on relieving symptoms, reducing stress, and improving quality of life.
Based in Claremont, California, we support patients and families throughout Los Angeles, San Bernardino, Orange, and Riverside counties.
What Is Palliative Care?
Palliative care is a specialized approach that addresses the physical, emotional, social, and spiritual challenges associated with serious illness. It can begin at different stages of an illness and may be provided alongside treatments intended to manage or improve the underlying condition.
Our team collaborates with primary care physicians, specialists, residential caregivers, patients, and families. Together, we establish care goals and create a personalized plan based on the individual’s condition, symptoms, and preferences.
Palliative Care and Hospice Care: What Is the Difference?
Both forms of care prioritize comfort and quality of life, but they are not the same.
| Timing | May begin at different stages of a serious illness | Intended for eligible patients with a life-limiting illness |
| Treatment | May accompany curative or disease-directed treatment | Focuses on comfort when curative treatment is no longer pursued |
| Goal | Relieve symptoms and improve daily life | Promote comfort, dignity, and quality of life |
| Location | May be provided at home or in a care setting | Provided wherever the patient calls home |
Our team can help you understand which type of support may be appropriate for your situation.
What Do Palliative Care Services Include?
Pain and Symptom Relief
An individualized care plan may address chronic pain, breathing difficulties, nausea, fatigue, weakness, reduced appetite, sleep problems, anxiety, and other challenging symptoms.
Care Coordination
We communicate with the patient’s physicians, specialists, caregivers, and relatives to promote consistent care. This coordinated approach helps everyone understand the patient’s needs, treatments, and goals.
Emotional and Psychological Support
Serious illness affects the whole family. Counseling and compassionate guidance can help patients and loved ones manage uncertainty, stress, fear, and changing responsibilities.
Support in Familiar Surroundings
Depending on the program and individual needs, care may be available in private residences, board-and-care homes, assisted living communities, memory care communities, and other residential settings.
Advance Care Planning
Our team helps patients and families explore their priorities, establish care goals, and prepare questions for healthcare providers. We can also provide guidance concerning advance healthcare directives and available community resources.
